Generation of T cell colonies from responder strain 2 guinea pigs that recognize the copolymer L-glutamic acid, L-lysine in association with nonresponder strain 13 Ia antigens

PMCID: PMC2186607  PMID: 6173462

Abstract

T cells from nonimmune responder strain 2 guinea pigs were primed in vitro to the copolymer GL in association with allogeneic, nonresponder strain 13 PEC. T cells that recognized GL in association with strain 13 Ia were separated from alloreactive T cells by cloning the population in soft agar following the priming in liquid culture. The existence of T cells of responder origin that recognize antigen in association with nonresponder macrophages is most consistent with clonal deletion models of Ir gene function.
